Hi everyone. I created a rather nice quilt top a while ago and then put it aside for months because I had no idea how to quilt it. I recently fished it out and am starting to get ideas, but I'm still a little stuck. The quilt is 22" x 26" and I will be hand quilting it, so please don't suggest pebbling!

Here's a scribbled design. I like the way I've patterned the waves (I'll like it less when I'm battling all those seam allowances, but hey ho), but I'm really not sure about the top part of the shell, and I have absolutely no idea how to quilt the border, which is 1.5" wide.
